C – goto statement

goto: A branching statement used to send the control from one place to another place in the program by defining labels.

Program to display 1 to 10 numbers without loop:

#include<stdio.h> int main(){             int a=1;             top:                         printf(“a value : %d \n”, a);                         ++a;                         if(a<=10)                                     goto top;             return 0;           }

We can create multiple labels in a single program.

#include<stdio.h> int main() {             top:                         printf(“Top \t”);                         goto bottom;             center:                         printf(“Center \t”);             bottom:                         printf(“Bottom \n”);                         goto top;                     return 0;           }

We use goto statement to come out of infinite loop also.

#include<stdio.h> int main() {             while(1)             {                         printf(“Infinite loop \n”);                         goto end;             }             end:                         printf(“Can break with goto\n”);                      return 0;           }
